  • El Templete Bar & Restaurant derives its name from its proximity (less than 50 meters) to a monument, which, erected in 1828, evokes the founding of the city of Havana in 1519. The bar is a pleasant place for a drink without any hassle–no mojito or Cuba libre here but instead a range of good scotches and quality wines available by the glass. The service here is probably the best in the city: quick, efficient, young, positive. It is so good; it presents a problem only for the lack of options to complain!
